Nan Paya is a temple built of brick and covered with sandstone, contemporary of the Nagayon temple. Erected by King Manuha, damned king of Thaton, in the second half of the 11th century. Some claim that it was the place of detention of King Manuha, who was captured by Anawratha at the same time as he seized the Buddhist scriptures. The small temple is surrounded by Mon-style windows, then at the base of the tower, three windows gently illuminate the interior of the Nanpaya temple, a name literally meaning "temple, palace".
